The Faculty of Agriculture officially welcomed students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine today for the launch of their summer clinical training program. The initiative aims to enhance students’ applied skills and bridge the gap between academic theory and professional workforce readiness.
The students were received by Mr. Ahmed Al-Lesani, Manager of the University Agricultural Farm, who commended their dedication to this practical learning opportunity. During the orientation, Al-Lesani emphasized the vital role of field training in building clinical expertise and refining professional competencies.
The first day included a comprehensive tour of the farm’s facilities, with a primary focus on the Livestock Division. Students gained firsthand insights into animal husbandry, welfare standards, nutrition protocols, and primary healthcare management.
Furthermore, the cohort received detailed briefings on modern farm management practices and innovative techniques used to optimize livestock production and herd health. This immersive experience allowed students to integrate their theoretical classroom knowledge with real-world veterinary applications.
This field training represents a cornerstone of the Veterinary Medicine curriculum, providing essential field qualification. By engaging with live cases, students develop critical skills in veterinary diagnostics, monitoring, and professional intervention.
The Faculty reaffirms its commitment to producing highly skilled graduates who possess both scientific excellence and practical proficiency, ultimately contributing to the advancement of the agricultural and veterinary sectors within the community.
